Full Description
Barrow - marked on 1st edition OS map of 1836, N of Beech Belt, S of Hundred Acre Farm (S1).
Mound destroyed (S2)(note: this is incorrect - see 2007 entry below).
Possible site of 13th century gallows - see FRK Misc.
NGR possibly slightly too far south - TL 7065 6985 possibly more accurate (S1).
Circular cropmark at TL 7065 6977 (S3).
17 June 2007: visible in arable field as distinct pale circular mound (approximately 50cm high?) from footpath to south (S4).
Red Lodge, formerly part of Freckenham parish.
Note: according to a member of the Mildenhall & District Metal Detecting Club in Dec 2007 & March 2008 this field being heavily 'nighthawked' by un-named detectorists - finds said to include 'loads Celtic [presumably coins], Roman, Saxon and everything'. Repeated illegal visitations would certainly suggest something significant in the way of finds (S5).
Referred to in 2002 desk based assessment (S6).
